Any tips on uploading photos? (What a pain in the ass!)
With regards to Regina's airport terminal, the interior space at Regina's ATB is now being utilized to its absolute
full potential. During November of '11, I had a conversation of
the person of the
highest authority. He/she stated to me that the Regina ATB will be expanded in about 5 years. (Hence that conversation.)
Our ATBs have leap-frogged each-other throughout their respective histories with respect to expansion/development.
1939: Regina had it's first ice cream shop-looking "formal" airport terminal building. During 1955, Saskatoon had its first "formal" ATB. (At that time, larger than Regina's.)
1960: Saw the completion of a brand new ATB at YQR which was then larger than YXE's.
1975: Saw an expansion of YXE which was to be larger than YQR 'til 1986 where Regina was to then have the larger ATB.
2000: YXE had a brand new control tower.
2002-03: The expanded YXE terminal became larger than YQR.
2003-05: YQR was to equal YXE with regards to floor space.
Soon: YXE's ATB will once again be larger than YQR for the next few years.
2017(?): One of two expansion proposals [insofar] for YQR to be decided upon. Believe me, either one will be impressive!!! I'm not at liberty to say more than I already have here.
